    部分原文报道如下：

 

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued draft guidance for industry to help infant formula manufacturers making structure/function claims comply with the requirement that all claims in infant formula labels and labeling be truthful and not misleading.

 

    “Structure/function” claims are statements made about the effects of a product or its constituent on the normal structure or function of the body. An example of a structure/function claim in infant formula labeling is a statement that the formula “supports digestion.”

 

    In the draft guidance, “Substantiation for Structure/Function Claims Made in Infant Formula Labels and Labeling,” the FDA describes its recommendations for the type and quality of scientific evidence that is appropriate to substantiate （i.e., support） structure/function claims made about an infant formula by the product's manufacturers or distributors. The draft guidance provides recommendations with respect to all infant formulas, including formulas marketed for use by infants who have inborn errors of metabolism or low birth weight, or who otherwise have unusual medical or dietary problems.
